THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD.

She knows silk and satin and French words and
Latin, but nothing Of practical use,
And when with farmer, whose cows so alarm
her, she can't tell hen from goose.
Her ''maw" has to call her and threaten to maui
her before she will get out of bed;
And then she comes down very mad, In o gown,
with curl papers stuck on her head.
She'll romp at croquet and lawn tennis oil day
without feeling weary at oil;
But somehow or other, If helping her mother,
she's tired and ready to fall.
Her ma mends her clothes and darns holes IN
her hose and keeps her untidy room clean,
While she reads romances and In mirrors
glanCes or bangs the plano serene.
She's cross to her brother and sister and mother,
and often temper displays,
But sweetness she shows to her silly young
beaux, who think she's nm angel always.
She chews gum and candy or any thing handy,
like pickles, slate-pencils and chalk,
And in French-heeled Shoes too little to use,
she painfully struggles to walk.
She's stylish and vain and looks with disdain on
Homework ss frightiully low,
And though she can't make pic or cake,
she'll cat 'em-in pantries, you know.
She Is so afraid she will die IN old maid that
she thinks Of nothing but marriage,
When she, being free, will spend money with
glee, and dress and ride out In her carriage

Tho Murderous Composition Discovered
by RussiOn Engineer.
There is no end to the perfectly dia-
bollcal competitor of the military pow
ers of Europe in the discovery of new
chemical agents for the destruction OF
mankind. 1t is reported that the Rus
sian Minister of War has Just concluded
series of experiments of new ox-
plosive compound which bids fair to
Guido the qualities of melinite. roburite
and all other explosives whatever in
its application to all the present uses
of gunpowder. This new and murder.
GUS composition is destined. say many
persons. to revolutionizc the existing
system of ammunition. The new ex-
plosive is the discovery of Russian
engineer. and has been christened
Sleetover Its strength is equal to that
OF pyroxyline, and has the immense ad-
vantage Of being ten times cheaper than
ordinary villainous saltpeter. Another
great superiority which it possesses
over all the known explosives of the
dynamite class is that when fired its
force does not strike downward, but
entirely in forward direction, so that
it can be used for all the purposes Of
cannon and musket charges to which
ordinary gunpowder is now applied.
without any damage whatever to the
weapon from which it is discharged.
1t is stated, in fact. that ball cartridges
loaded with it have been fired out OF
cardboard barrels as y test without the
least injury to the latter. So satisfac-
tory. indeed. have been the expert
ments that it is reported the Minister
of War is about to have special fac
tory built for its manufacture. The

effects on the stomach and its func-

it is fact that alcohol coagulates ami

sin in the gastric juice inert, or Of ne
cessity impairing this juice, one of the

cruelty to order these stimulants to
the sick; the well may bear this treat
ment for time but the sick should b
spared. The egg, so useful to the sick
especially when simply "beaten up"
with milk-is worthless when cOagu-

this is done by heat The same re-
mark applies, also, to our meats. rich
in albumen, with still other substances.
though the vegetable albumen Is not

1es Terrible E0ects ON eh0 Physical 9yUA
tom OF tho Young.
The terrible effect of tobacco on tho
system of young persons is indicated
in many significant ways. After ex-
haustive examination by both tho
French and the German Governments,
they have become satisfied that as 8
matter Of patriotism, politics and
economy, it is necessary for them to
suppress juvenile use of tobacco. This
they do vigorously, but not as ques-
ton Of moral reform. How much
more, then, should we grapple with
the evil!
Let us remember that investigation
Of court record showed that of 700
male convicts in an American prison,
GOO hundred were there for crimes
committed under influence of liquor.
and that five hundred of that 600 tes-
titled that use of tobacco was the be-
ginning of their Incorporate habit.
General Grant died from tobacco
cancer, and Colfax from heart dis
ease induced by tobacco. A large num-
Der of the deaths from heart-disease
are from what honest and able ply
sicians pronounce tobacco hearts. "
During the last few years the rejec-
ton of young men by life insurance
companies, because of unfitness from
tobacco heart-disease, is not infreqent.
The London Lancet says: mo
smoker can be we'll man..
As question of 'heredity," very
many of the terrible nervous diseases Of
women spring from tobacco habits of
their fathers.
Few fathers, even among those who
smoke, would be willing to have their
boys smoke. Yet, who can expect .
boy not to smoke who has the smoking
example of a father or teacher before
him?
Fire hardly spreads in prairie grass
so fast as the habit Of smoking among
small boys in the last five years.
1t is high time that in States where
there is law against selling tobacco to
boys, lot Of those guilty of so doing
be vigorously punished. Let law and
order societies, pushed on by the w.
c. I. u, make themselves felt by the
enemy. so as to be remembered.
In States where there are no such
laws, let the same forces apply to So
curing them, and then having them put
through.
The man who sells boy tobacco, or
by example helps him get the habit OF
using it, is an enemy to the race.
After twenty-five years use Of to-
bacco, the writer discontinued it.
